Dealing with Divorce

Divorce takes a toll on everybody involved. Teens often bear a special burden during a family break-up, however. Caught between two warring parents, they lack a place to turn for answers to the questions raised by this traumatic experience. Divorce Wizards, a site offering free divorce advice and information, has provided such a forum in the form of a first-person account by Kevin Friedland, a student from California. No simple "woe is me" piece, Kevin's article focuses on the way he turned the difficulty of his parents' divorce into a positive, character-building experience. This is a well thought-out and unsentimental piece that every teen will benefit from reading.
